1987 TV
Events
January 5 - Remington Steele returns to NBC after a six-month hiatus during which series star Pierce Brosnan won the film role of James Bond, only to lose it when NBC unexpectedly renewed the series. Steele adopts a TV-movie length format but only runs for a few installments before being cancelled for good.
January 22 - R. Budd Dwyer shoots and kills himself at a televised press conference. The decision by some broadcasters to air the footage leads to a debate over boundaries in journalism.
January–February - PBS broadcasts the critically-acclaimed Eyes on the Prize series.
February 8–February 15 - The miniseries Amerika, showing life ten years after the United States is defeated and occupied by the USSR, is broadcast on ABC.
February 15 - The television movie event The Facts of Life Down Under airs on NBC.
April 5 - The Fox TV network makes its prime-time debut, marking the first time since 1955 that four networks filled the US prime-time television landscape.
April 19 - Matt Groening's The Simpsons debuts as a series of short animated segments on The Tracey Ullman Show.
May - The sitcom Mr. Belvedere is canceled after three seasons. Heavy backlash causes ABC executives to rethink the decision and bring the show back. Since the fall programming schedules were already written, Mr. Belvedere doesn't premiere until late October.
May 15 - Pam Ewing's car speeds out of control, crashes into a tanker, and explodes on the season finale of Dallas.
June 30–July 31 - US daytime television is interrupted for the Iran-Contra hearings.

September 5 - Dick Clark's American Bandstand airs for the 2,751st and last time on ABC, after 30 years on the network. It lives on in syndication for 2 more years.
September 7 - Sylvester McCoy becomes the seventh actor to play the Doctor in BBC One's long-running Doctor Who.
September 11 - Dan Rather of the CBS Evening News stomps out of the newscast when a televised tennis match runs two minutes over. He is missing for six minutes.
November 4–November 18 - Damon and Debbie becomes the first 'soap bubble'. It was a miniseries which took two characters from Brookside into new locations and their own story.
October 1 - Iceland introduces television on Thursdays for the first time.
October 15 - Bob Barker, host of The Price Is Right, stops dyeing his hair brown and appears on-stage for the first time with white hair. He is given a minute-long standing ovation by the audience.

November 22 - During a showing of the Doctor Who story "Horror of Fang Rock", Chicago PBS station WTTW-TV Channel 11 is interrupted for 88 seconds by a pirate television transmitter overriding the station's transmission signal to broadcast a video of himself in a Max Headroom mask being spanked. This incident has subsequently gained a degree of cult myth about it.
CBS becomes the last American network to cease a chime intonation at the beginning of telecasts; satellite feeds have made the tones obsolete (their job was to signal to the affiliates to start airing the network feed in sync with everyone else).
Televangelist Jim Bakker is involved in a sex scandal, which causes him to step down as the host of The P.T.L. Club.
227 star Jackée Harry changes her name to "Jackée," which she goes by until 1994.

Back to the Future/2 - 1989
This was released on November 17th, 1989 well after our graduation in late May, but I'll bet you still saw it with some classmates...
The Little Mermaid - with Jodi Benson
See comments below for the original Disney animated film entitled The Little Mermaid. It was released was released about 6 months after we graduated, November 17, 1989, just in time for the Holiday Season. This poster was done for the re-release on November 14, 1997.
Jodi Benson (born October 10, 1961) is an American voice actress and soprano singer. She is known for providing both the singing and the speaking voice of Disney's Princess Ariel in The Little Mermaid and its sequels.
The Little Mermaid Statue in Copenhagen Denmark harbor
The statue of The Little Mermaid (Den lille havfrue in Danish) sits on a rock in the Copenhagen harbour at Langelinie. This small and unimposing statue is a Copenhagen icon and a major tourist attraction.
The statue was commissioned in 1909 by Carl Jacobsen, son of the founder of Carlsberg, who had been fascinated by a ballet about the fairytale in Copenhagen’s Royal Theatre and asked the primaballerina, Ellen Price, to model for the statue. The sculptor Edvard Eriksen created the statue, which was unveiled on 23 August 1913.
The Little Mermaid is a 1989 animated feature produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation with its first release on November 17, 1989. This was the twenty-eighth animated feature of the Disney animated features. The film is based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, "The Little Mermaid." During its initial release, it grossed over $84 million in the United States and an additional $99 million internationally. Mass merchandising exceeded the film's gross by many times.

1989, this is the way we were... CCHS Red Devils...
1989 was no different than any other year except it's the year we thought would never get here, High School Graduation at last. Time to shake off the surly bonds of the prison they call high school and get on with our lives. But freedom can be scarey. No jobs, yet. Some going to college, never did that before. Some going into the service, never did that before. Car payments, insurance, food prices, paycheck? Mom, Dad, what's this all about. Well, return with us to yesteryear. Some twenty years ago now. What, already. Talk about scarey. 1989. Let's see what we looked like, what we liked and didn't like, sights, sounds, some hit music, movies, photos, friends... Flashback 1989...
1989 Honey I Shrunk the Kids
In 1989 Honey I Shrunk the Kids was playing at the movies. Starring Rick Moranis this movie played to an impossible but somewhat plausible theme, that science in the wrong hands can go irreparably wrong. So much for science. The art part of Hollywood is to make that funny and palatable. Disney scored pretty well here. They eventually released it as a TV series and a Theme Park attraction at Disney World.
Texaco 1985
Notice the pump prices for gas $1.09 for Regular, $1.19 for Unleaded. Also, I may have taken a little poetic license here. I'm not sure the Ebensburg Texaco Station ever looked quite this good... hahaha... sorry Texaco... Oh, this clip is from the 1985 blockbuster Back to the Future. BTTF2 came out in 1989 and BTTF3 in 1990.
